Tannenbaum Charity Trail Silent Auction

A baker's dozen small Christmas trees are on display near the baked goods in Niwot Market as part of the Niwot Business Association's effort to raise money for charities during the holidays.

Niwot businesses decorated and donated miniature trees as part of the Tannenbaum Charity Trail Silent Auction. Each tree was donated by a local business, which chose a charity to receive the funds from the highest bid.

The trees are on display until 4 p.m. Dec. 10 at Niwot Market, where bidders can write their names and bids on silent auction forms. Businesses will notify the winning bidders after the auction ends and collect the donation for the designated charity.
